(18:16:57) ChitleshGoorah: linux users tends to stay away from fedora

FC5.
(18:17:00) ChitleshGoorah: yes i am
(18:17:26) lxmaier: ChitleshGoorah: just making sure you're still there :)
(18:17:39) ChitleshGoorah: linux users still have dependencies hell in
mind from previous fedora core releases <5
(18:18:16) volp left the room (quit: "Abandonando").

(18:21:29) lxmaier: cool -- when is that?
(18:21:57) ChitleshGoorah: 28 october 2006
(18:22:35) ChitleshGoorah: everything has been planned! flyers in

(18:23:00) ChitleshGoorah: next to fedora booth there will be kubuntu and VOIP
(18:23:06) ChitleshGoorah: next to fedora booth there will be kubuntu and VOIP
(18:23:31) ChitleshGoorah: banners from previous linuxtag will be used as well

(18:24:18) lxmaier: thank you ChitleshGoorah
(18:24:31) lxmaier: do we have any more reports?
(18:24:41) lxmaier: MrTom: you wanted to talk about an event?
(18:24:49) MrTom: yep
(18:25:07) lxmaier: then go ahead MrTom
(18:25:20) MrTom: we have 3 events planned in France, one of which
ChitleshGoorah is taking care of in strasbourg
(18:25:52) ChitleshGoorah: :)
(18:26:22) MrTom: we have an FC6 install party in 2 days in Lille (the
biggest town in northern paris) -- we are doing quite well in
organisatio for the moment, lots of ambassadors will be there and fc6
flyers are ready :)
(18:27:27) MrTom: however, we won't have any FC6 dvds because fc6 is
not officially released : we are still wondering if a network install
from a copy of a dev mirror would make it or not, as it seems
everything is frozen
(18:28:25) MrTom: then, there is another install party, in paris, the
2_th october. We are doing weel as well : many more ambassadors will
be there, and the local lugs that helps us has a great experience of
install party organisation
(18:28:41) MrTom: 28th october
(18:29:11) MrTom: we received the pack with schwags it seems (well,
the lug received it)
(18:29:30) MrTom: don't know what is in, it will be a surprise :)
(18:30:18) MrTom: bad luck for the request i sent to famsco some weeks
ago : the delay of fc6 makes it impossible to have pressed/burned dvds
for this install party
(18:30:19) Foolish left the room (quit: "Ex-Chat").
(18:31:17) MrTom: and moreover, it seems i was very bad in searching
low cost dvds ^^, another ambassadors (armelk) found very cheap dvds
thanks to his job
(18:31:17) MrTom: eof
(18:31:44) ChitleshGoorah: !
(18:32:46) lxmaier: > ChitleshGoorah
